Being in tier 4 means all my Boxing Day plans are effectively cancelled. What do you all usually do on Boxing Day?

Usually my sister and I head into Glasgow for breakfast and some shopping. This year I’m just having a lazy day indoors as we have also moved into tier 4 in mainland Scotland. A day of snacking, watching films and reading books. Going to set my new filter coffee machine up and relax. Then we’ve got leftovers for our meal tonight. Christmas dinner twice, wahey!

We normally have a Christmas Day part 2 with my dads side of the family with drinks, games and food but obviously won’t be this year as we are in tier 4 too! But I think we’ll be having a chilled day in pjs, eating leftovers and chocolate and watching films! Hope you all have a lovely day whatever you’re doing!!

I sometimes cook a load of dishes to be frozen with the leftovers e.g. Christmas soup (anything you can find blended), turkey and ham pie, turkey curry, macaroni cheese etc.
 
Usually visiting family again. Drinking and eating together. We’re tier 2 but because of the Christmas bubble thing can’t really do that today. So weMre having a really lazy one. Films, food, a walk with the dog at some point.
 
We are usually up in Scotland at my MIL's so I would normally have a fairly lazy day, maybe pop out to local shops for a hour or so and then have a family dinner at SIL's (for years I used to get up early and go to Glasgow sales shopping but I stopped that a few years ago).

However this year we have stayed at home as per Nicola's instructions and I can't be bothered with the shops even though we're still in Tier 3 so in theory I could go sales shopping. I am currently browsing the 12 Days of Kindle sale while watching old episodes of TOWIE. I think I'll have a shower and haul myself out for a walk this morning and then spend the rest of the day just pottering around at home.
 
We were due to go to my MIL’s for a steak pie dinner but since Scotland is in tier 4 from today she is boxing it up for us and we’ll collect it from the doorstep and bring it home to eat. We were at my parents yesterday for Christmas Day so will also be picking up / dropping off presents at my MIL’s.

On a normal year we would end up going round the shops for a nosey but I’m happy to stay home and online shop and eat crap.
 
Browsing online. Watching films (might watch Hamilton tonight) and Zoom family quiz later

We always have a quiet day to relax after Christmas, unless I'm working christmas day in which case we go and see my friends. No shopping as we've spent enough time in shops before Christmas, and it means we can tidy away all the toys etc.

No different from any other day at home, eat, drink, puter, TV, mainly chillin.
 
Took toddler out on her skates, was going to take her out on her scooter but it’s freezing so we are watching Disney + and playing with her new Duplo.
Going to do tapas and paella for dinner tonight washed down with sangria! Normally go to family but it’s nice just being at home.

A long walk, leftover roast and a pizza later on tonight. We’d normally have a full roast again today, but since it’s just the two of us that seems excessive.
